These are my comments about hard drives. I am not an IT pro but I have 
been computing since back in the eight bit days. It is true that hard 
drives in the pre-Gigabyte days did fail from time to time. I have never 
had a driver greater than 10 G fail. Early on I occasionally thought 
that a drive had failed and I put it in my hard drive drawer but later 
when playing with it I was able to just reinstall windows on it with no 
trouble. I have many drives that I have removed from my old computers. I 
suppose some drives do fail but I would never assume that until I had 
run the computers emergency rescue disk or system on them. [I use that 
term system since lots of companies have stopped supplying emergency 
disks and just have a rescue partition. They strongly suggest that the 
user create his own disk just in case he cannot boot.]
